Have you met Melrose (the yellow dog) and his friend Croc (a small green crocodile)? A Hero's Birthday is the sixth story in this charming series. The first book is set at Christmas. Take a look at Emma Chichester Clark's web pages.
Melrose has plans for a wonderful birthday to his friend Croc. He has prepared all the presents but he wants to include one more perfect surprise - a fresh fish for breakfast. Melrose sets off in a small row boat. He has not noticed "how black the sea was, or how dark the sky had become."
Back at home Croc waits for Melrose. When his good friend does not arrive, Croc sets off to look for him. By now the storm is raging. Down at the harbour Croc meets Pierre, the boat owner. Out in the stormy sea he sees a tiny boat with a yellow dog inside it. The lifeboat sets off to rescue Melrose but just as they arrive a huge wave sweeps Melrose into the sea. Croc does not hesitate - he dives into the wild waves to save his friend. Croc is a hero!
"A real hero ... And a true friend."
